You can buy a decent packaged commercial Wuyi Wulong in a well stocked
Chinese store. You can't find any equivalent packaging for Formosa.
A herbal store will usually carry a green,oolong,black. Another good
source for tea is college campus coffee houses. Everyone I've been
too has a decent oolong. They're willing to sell you something from
the back. I was in a tourist trap coffee house last year and bought a
decent Formosa Pouchong. Nothing beats a local tea shoppe that is
serious about tea.
